choice book report #2

                This book is about a young 14 year old boy named Matt. Matt has a very big secret, he is a gatekeeper. The gatekeepers are 5 kids that are trying to protect the world from getting destroyed by an evil force called the old ones. Matt is the leader of the gatekeepers. He is very strong willed and very courageous. In the first book of the gatekeepers Matt stands up alone and fights the old ones by himself. Matt saved the entire world by himself.
                In the second book the old ones are trying to open another gate in Peru. Matt has to get a secret book so he can find out where the gate is going to open. Once he gets to Peru he is supposed to find a guy named Diego Salamanda. Diego is a very large business man and he basically owns Peru. He owns all their Cable, Phones and even their police force. So Matt arrives in Peru and Diego sets a trap to try and catch Matt and kill him. The police wait at a hotel and when Matt arrives they beat him up in the middle of the lobby but while they are leaving a second gatekeeper Pedro saves Matt by using his slingshot. Matt and Pedro become very good friends and eventually they save each other’s lives. So in the end of the book Matt and Pedro are going to fight the olds ones but Pedro gets hurt and can’t walk so Matt fights mostly by himself and he gets hurt but miraculously heals the next day.

Choice Book Report/ Recommendation

                Evil Star: this was a good book and that’s a good report because I hate reading. This is the second book in the gatekeepers series by anthony horowitz. I would recommend reading the first book, Ravens Gate first otherwise this book might be a little confusing. I liked this book because it kept you guessing there was always something going on, always some action in the story. It kept me guessing the whole story. It wasn’t like those books you read and you can predict every thing that’s going to happen next, It was always something you never would have thought of. This book was also very desciptive you felt almost as if you were in the story.
 This book is about a fourteen year old boy named Matt, who is involved in a secret oganization called the nexus. The nexus is an organization that is trying to save the world from The old ones. There are few Old Ones left and they are going around trying to open gates so that all the spirits of fallen Old Ones will escape and destroy the world.  Matt’s job is to keep the old ones from opening the gates. He goes to Peru where the next gate is going to open and He meets another boy like him named Pedro. Pedro is also a gatekeeper.  Matt and Pedro Have a lot in common. At first they fight and don’t get along very well but they get to know each other and they save each others lives eventually. They also saw into the future and saw their families deaths. They both warned their families but neither of them listened and they both got killed. Pedro ended up living in a shanty town and Matt went through several foster homes.
